By
Al, Himself
We see by the papers that the
Harveys Lake Protective = Associa-
tion has decided to ‘Press for Legis-
lation and will appeal to Dr. Rus-
sell E. Teague, State Secretary of
Health, to improve sanitary con-
ditions at the resort.”
At the meeting Robert M. Rob-
erts, president of the Association,
appointed a ‘committee to see Dr.
also suggest legisla-
tion at Harrisburg or an ordinance
on the township level to give addi-
tional authority.” ’
This committee consists of Mau-
rice Cantor, chairman; Senator T.
Newell Wood, Secretary of Com-
merce Andrew J. Sordoni, Dr.
Louis Jones, Dr. M. C. Rumbaugh,
Dr. H. I. Evans, Attorney Henry
Greenwald, former Governor Art-
“hur H. James, Attorney Al J. Kane
and Dr. C. A, Miller.
Now, can any one imagine a
more impressive committee? We'd
like to have any one of those
gentlemen on our side even while
we are going about our business of
obeying all laws and we'd surely
dislike having any one of them
against us if we were ever silly
enough to allow our sewage to
seep in the lake.
These men must be very busy
attending to their own affairs and
for that reason we cannot see how
they can find time to waste in
getting a law passed at Harrisburg
that must already be on the statute
books. Surely there must be a
state law prohibiting dumping of
personal waste in State lake waters.
At least we though so at one time,
so we entered the health office
one day and complained about a
home built on the lake front, ‘be-
tween the road and.the water's
edge. We told the officials we had
watched the excavation for the
septic tank, we saw where the
outlet pipes were laid and we knew
from knowledge gained in the fifth
grade at school that family’s waste
could go nowhere else but in the
lake. We were told that was not
enough. We must prove that sew-
age runs in the lake. Well, we
couldn’t break into a man’s house
and pour green powder into his
waste pipes, so we gaye that one
up.
There are persons here that live
right over the water. If they have
a sewage system they don’t use it.
One friend of ours almost received
the contents of a bed chamber in
“his boat, thrown from an upstairs
window.
Surely there is no need for an-
other local ordinance to stop that.
Why not enforce the ordinances
we have now?
We enjoy the confidence placed
in us by the home folk, especially
as we don’t believe they've ac-
cepted us yet as a full fledged
Lake Townshipite. You see, we've
only been up here since 1933, and
that time is only a drip in the
bucket to persons who have been
fighting for better lake conditions
almost since birth. They know,
personally, everyone of the men
on the “Harveys Lake Protective
Association’s Committee for Better
Health Conditions.” Some of this
group have been their doctors,
some their lawyers, some they have
helped elect to political offices.
They appreciate any help they can
get from this committee, but they
don’t think any new laws are nec-
essary. They know that a health
officer has not the time to visit
every house on the lake front to
test for sewage seepage, so the
consensus of their opinion is that
all that is necessary is for the
health officer to use his eyes and
occasionally his nose to note where
families are living who may be
breaking sanitary codes, then seek
a warrant to enter and conduct the
proper tests.
All they ask is that the health
officer “just don’t pick only on the
little guy.”
We don’t know what they mean
by that—maybe you do.
Beryl Colwell Graduates
Bnd Takes Secretaryship
Beryl Colwell, daughter of Mrs.
Louise Colwell, Main street, had
a job waiting for her when she
graduated from the Commercial
and Finance Department of Wilkes
in June. She has been with Del-
bert Craig, food broker, with of-
fices in the Sterling Hotel, for two
weeks now, and is thoroughly en-
joying her first secretarial position
and first real pay check.
Beryl took one year of liberal
arts at Wilkes after graduating
from Dallas Borough High School,
before deciding to study business.
She interviewed several prospective
employers before deciding on her
present position.
Wilkes has a placement bureau
for its business graduates. Many
local concerns; instead of advertis-
ing for a secretary, explain their
needs to this bureau. It was in
this way that Beryl was located.

Why is baby so restless?
Many things can make a baby
restless. ’
The mattress has a lump right
under baby’s back.
The diaper is pinned too tightly
over his abdomen.
Some one left a bright light
shining in his eyes.
A fly is buzzing around his face.
There are too many bedclothes
and he is perspiring.
Visitors have yanked baby up
out of his crib and his chest and
arms are stiff and sore.
The, next door neighbor has his
radio turned up loud and baby is
irritated by baseball ballyhoo.
Babies need a change of position
and shouldn't lie on their backs
all the time.
Sometimes the drawstring in the
neck of baby’s shirt is too tight.
Or, the armholes of baby’s
clothes have shrunk and are cut-
ting into his skin.
Baby's ears are uncomfortably
lapped under his head. :
An infant is born with fear of
falling and a fear of loud noises.
He should be carefully lifted and
firmly held.
In lifting, baby should be grasped
around the body, just under the
armpits, but never lifted by the
arms or armpits.
Mothers, for the most part, are
considerate of baby’s comfort.
Caring for a small child is a
large job.
Robert Evans Back
At Dix After Crash
Pvt. Robert Evans, son of Mrs.
Helen Evans, Center Street, Sha-
vertown, is back again at Fort Dix
N. J. after a hair-raising exper-
ience which postponed his wedding
to Betty Johnson for an indefinite
period, and came near causing his
death.
Riding a motorcycle on Sunday
afternoon at 1:15, he struck a rut
and was thrown violently into the
air, striking a concrete block with
his head. His sister, driving in from
Elmira at the time, was just be-
hind him when he crashed. She
says he turned over four times
when he landed. .
Rushed to the Nesbitt Hospital,
he was X-Rayed for possible frac-
ture of the skull, and eight stitches
taken in his head. He was dis-
charged with a diagnosis of simple
concussion on Tuesday afternoon,
and started for Fort Dix on Thurs-
day, his head swathed in banda-
ges, his arm in a sling.

Former Township Coach
Has Infant Daughter
Mrs. Alan Kistler has returned
from Bloomfield, N. J., where she
has been with her daughter June,
Mrs. Albert L. Adams, who gave
birth to an eight-opund eleven ounce
baby girl, Ann June, at Mountain-
side Hospital Montclair on June
5. Mrs, Adams was formerly
teacher and assistant basketball
coach at Dallas Township High
School. © Her husband is on the
faculty of Bloomfield High School.
tary, but his work as production
has a real stake in the local school
system, with two sons already in
Dallas Township schools and a
daughter who misses eligibility to
the first grade this fall by a scant
two months.
Mr. Roberts looks much as he
did twenty-three years ago when
he was playing guard on the Al-
bright football team, with the same
poundage, though perhaps a trifle
differently located. He still likes
football and hopes that his sons
make the team. David Alan, now
nearing eleven, and about to enter
the sixth grade, has great possibili-
ties, he thinks.
Frederick J. the older boy, now
thirteen, will be a freshman this
year. He has been an A student
ever since entering the Township
schools four years ago when his
family moved here from Philadel-
phia.
Charlotte, the only girl, is hop-
ing that the kindergarten which
may possibly be opened at Dallas
Borough in the fall will be able to
accommodate her on a tuition ba-
sis. She has been going to the mu-
sic kindergarten operated by Ruth
Turn Reynolds, and has enjoyed it
immensely, developing group con-
sciousness along with rhythm.
Mr. Roberts has a feeling for
children. He is an assistant Cub
Scoutmaster, Troop 231, having gi-
ven up his meetings of the Men's
Club in the Shavertown Lutheran
Church to officiate on third Mon-
days in the Shavertown Fire Hall.
He thinks Scouting is extremely
important, and expects to transfer
from cub work to scout work when
his son David goes on to the older
group.
Family interest revolves around
the children, though with Frederick
now of an age where he can quali-
fy as a built-in baby sitter while
doing a spot of evening reading or
study, the parents are able to get
out occasionally in the evening.
Mr. Roberts belongs to Dallas
Lodge, F. and A. M., and to the Ro-
manager of ice-cream at the Wood-
lawn Plant and his cub scout work
keeps him from being much of a |
joiner. And anyhow, he'd rather be |
a good friend to his children and |
enjoy them while they are still
young, than attend a lot of meet-
ings.
He thinks that nothing is too
good for the. children, that they
deserve the very best in education
that can tbe given them. He thinks
that outworn prejudices, and out-
worn boundary lines should not be
wished upon the rising generation.
They have a right, he thinks, to a
world which has shaken off such |
shackles.
Mr. Roberts would like to see a
school system so outstanding that
graduates, from Back Mountain
schools are accepted without ques-
tion in the best colleges. He de-
plores an educational plan which
makes it difficult for high school
graduates to keep their noses
above water in the stiffer competi-
tion of college without first taking
an extra year in a private school
such as Wyoming Seminary in or-
der to learn how to study.
A graduate of a New York
State high school in Wayland, he
cites the Regents Examinations as
keeping local schools up to the
mark. .
He is very much interested in
kindergarten. Frederick had the ad-
vantage of attending a good kin-
garten in Philadelphia, during the
time when his father was associa-
ted with the Philadelphia Dairy
Products Company, parent company
of the Woodlawn Dairy. Subsequent
progress in school was greatly sim-

Fin, Fur, And Feather

One of the most interesting talks
I have heard in some time was
given by Dr. Gordon Trembley,
biologist for the Pennsylvania Fish
Commission, at the meeting of Har-
veys Lake Camp 274 United Sports-
men of Pennsylvania.
Dr. Trembley with the assistance
of Richard Reppert, Keen Buss, Ed-
ward Markovsky, DeWayne Camp-
bell and Edward Westlake have
completed a week's study of lake
fish and plant life. To complete the
survey as outlined by the Comm-
ission, another two weeks will be
needed. The work at the lake is
part of a lake management pro-
gram that has been under way for
the past three years. ;
There are several phases of such
a program but the ones that seem
to be uppermost are, what species
of fish are present, and what types
of food they are living on. For the
first time since the survey of State
lakes was started, a chemical ana-
lysis of soil from the lake bottom
will be made. This will determine if
plant life is sufficient for fish life.
Sometimes, according to the
speaker, lakes are found where
food conditions are so good, that
fish will not be lured by baits,
whether real or artificial.
Scale samples are examined to
determine the condition and age of
fish. This gives the biologist one of
the best determining factors as to
overpopulated underfed fish. Live
fish to be studied are taken by
three types of nets: trap, gill and
shore seining. In addition to scale
examination, a thorough study of
the fish digestive tract and its con-
tents is made. This study adds to
the survey of food or pasture for
fish life.
It was quite surprising to many
in attendance, and because of the
many tales and legends, to learn
that there is a bottom in the lake,
at a depth of ninety to ninety-five
feet.
Water temperature at the last
reading was for the surface 70.75%
and at the bottom 40% f{. This
temperature will definitely support
lake trout. Another interesting fact
brought to the attention of the
sportsmen was the oxygen content
of the water. Many of us had no
comprehension of the fact that fish
Chemical analysis of the water
shows eight parts per million of
dissolved oxygen at ninety feet; ten
parts per million at thirty feet; and
at the surface nine parts. Fish can
live on four parts per. million. The
final analysis can be summed up
by stating that fish can live, pro-
vided they obtain proper food, at
the bottom of the lake.
Up to the present time no lake
trout have been trapped, but nine-
teen species of fish’ have been
studied. The following list is given,
and it is presumed by the writer
that few fishermen knew such a
